resurrections
Comings back alive
Resurrections is the plural of resurrection, meaning instances of rising from the dead or being brought back to life.
The term originates in Christian theology with Christ's resurrection, but extends to any return from death—literal or figurative.
A career can have multiple resurrections; a franchise can see resurrections across decades.
The character has had three resurrections in the comic book series.
